Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) recently spent some time at Vance AFB, Okla., making one of his routine visits to military facilities in Oklahoma, reports the Vance Airscoop. Inhofe is slated to become chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, should Republicans retain a majority after mid-term elections next month. At Vance, Inhofe said that he likes to visit state facilities every couple of months “just to be up on everything.” However, he noted that this visit offered his first opportunity to see Vance’s new family housing, which he called “most impressive.”
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
